Not really. The explore/exploit analogy only works if the higher risk investments have higher returns, as we see with stocks (higher risk, higher returns) vs bonds (lower risk, lower returns). I'm skeptical that speculating on options have higher returns commensurate with their risks.
Always a good thing.

That said, I downloaded Pale Moon yesterday and tested it briefly: installed TST and one or two other extensions, visited a few ordinary sites.

Even after all those years it still feel good. It is snappy and the lack of a noisy tab bar on the top in addition to TST is actually a huge deal!

So my question for anyone from Mozilla who steps in here:

when will you start fixing the extension API? I get it the new API is more secure, but there is nothing that prevents making tab positions configurable in a safe way.

Also, could someone please fix that nasty UX bug that some UX designer introduced a decade or so ago where - if you select the tiniest thing on the page - the navigation buttons disappear from the context menus. After a decade or more this inconsistency still annoys me.
I'll have to listen to this episode.
Randomness Recommendations for Security (1994)
The bigger issue related to this is not the Khashoggi was tortured to death and dismembered, but that America's alliance with Saudi Arabia is both immoral and strategically stupid. However, Saudi Arabia's corrupt grip on our ruling class is so thorough that it is able to suppress speech like this that might make the Saudi government look even slightly bad.

We never get to the point to which the Saudi alliance is questioned at a fundamental level. The motte and bailey style 'debate' stays in the realm of whether or not the Khashoggi murder was bad, or on some other irrelevant side issue of the Saudi government's conduct. The problem, essentially, is our military alliance with Saudi Arabia. This is almost never debated. Only side issues such as Saudi women not being allowed to drive or Saudi use of the death penalty are ever allowed to be raised. It's considered 'unserious' to question the iron security guarantee that our republic provides to this royal family.

Saudi Arabia could turn 1 million Kahsoggis into meatballs and the American Op-Ed-Oligarchy would be unwilling to question the fundamental diplomatic issue of America's alliance with Saudi Arabia. We have already tested this commitment when a couple dozen Saudi nationals blew up the World Trade Center twice and the alliance with Saudi Arabia only strengthened as a response.

This would be like Gavrilo Princip killing Franz Ferdinand and the Habsburgs responding by increasing foreign and military aid to Serbia, encouraging Serbia to blow up more of its neighbors, then going to war on behalf of Serbia multiple times to increase its power and influence. 27D chess or corrupt-stupid-evil; you decide.
Interesting. I would’ve expected labeling to be the most impactful, since you can’t read the information without processing the tag that it’s fake. I wonder what the mechanism is here.
Legal precedent is a hell of a drug.
This is a smart move by Twitter. Substack has taken off considerably. Rather than watch all their prized users go publish long form content on a platform outside their orbit, Twitter just pulled a platform into their orbit.

The thing I’m curious about is how creative Twitter will get with integrating the platforms. There have been a lot of missed opportunities with previous Twitter acquisitions IMO.
I'm not saying there are no additional costs, they obviously are. What I'm saying is the current costs should come down in the UK. It has a ruthless courier marketplace.

Amazon is either eating the costs (possible, granted, but odd as they don't do it for other countries) or have got costs so low to clear that they're not charging customers for them. £12 to clear a small package is obviously way over the actual cost incurred by the delivery companies.
These people are most likely buying options. Saying that they end up with ownership of something is a stretch.
What about Percona? I haven't used it, but a common sentiment on HN has been that Postgres doesn't have something quite on par with it.

Citus and, more recently, Patroni, seem to be the dominant Postgres analogues; have they caught up? Where do they dominate?
"I should point out that there are classes of businesses that do exist somewhat as an exception, certain charities and non-profits"

Not even sure about those. Quite a lot of charities and non-profits set up to fix a problem end up perpetuating it because it is a nice comfortable job.
>My home is about $110k.

Like, it was worth that when you bought it several years ago? I mean, I live in the midwest too, where it used to be possible to get a modest home in the burbs for about that price. But those homes are now gone, they disappeared over the past few years as they were purchased in all-cash transactions by flippers who threw some paint and flooring in them before selling them for twice the price.

Housing in the cheap areas is being hit really hard. Lots of areas are seeing coastal-levels of YoY price inflation. Mine is ~18% YoY according to Zillow.
So you need a warning whenever art makes you feel something other than enjoyment. Now I understand.
Looks like the brother just does the merges? (which are mostly automatic) so IMO best it matters because it's still mostly a one man, or at least a one family operation - i.e not very resilient to random acts of nature (which backups are supposed to protect from)
I neither agree nor disagree, I'm just not familiar with the US situation. I'm certainly aware that, especially historically (pre-XX century), US universities were finishing school for the well-off, but I don't know how/if the dynamics changed after the WWII, with introduction of GI bill etc.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone write a § except when discussing its uselessness on the keyboard (much like ¤). It's somewhat common for people to switch to US layout while programming, probably more so than remapping.
It'll be interesting to see what Substack does in response to this. I can imagine that they'll lose some folks because Twitter's taking a lower rate.
When you decentralize data across so many places, somehow it gets harder to get so many. Go figure!
While prices vary wildly from city to city and type to type, I'd like to show you the King County price index that shows the trend in housing prices since 1975.

That is quite silly if it truly be so — are we moving to the Anglo-Saxon “protected classes” model now?

If I understand this correctly, it is not a problem, or a lesser or different problem if such a company share that a client finds being stroked on his earlobes to be highly arousing, or is a big aficionado of the “big black cock”, as those are not “sexual orientations”?

That seems like a rather arbitrary distinction I am not used to from E.U. regulations.

P.s.: I see that someone else quoted “data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation”, — which is already significantly less arbitrary; the “or sexual orientation” is merely a superfluous inclusive.
Why the Construction Industry Needs a New Open Format
A documentary about a journalist being murdered because he criticized a truly legitimately shit regime.

A documentary that almost everyone who watched it says is borderline child pornography.

"Correlation does not imply having something to do with another."

By its very definition, "correlation" means exactly "a mutual relation": https://www.dictionary.com/browse/correlation
The example you're giving is called coincidence not correlation. There are times where words' etymologies loose their connection with their current meaning, but that is not the case here, where we have "con" meaning "together" + "relation", which is a logical construction agreeing with word's meaning.
You would, because the app will still waste the screen space for the fleets bar even if nobody is using it, just so it can push the button for creating a new one in front of you all the time.
The Pandemic Is Finally Softening. Will That Last?
I agree, the research is overly complicated.

So it's a lot of extra work to sift through,
but I've found a lot of gold in there.

If you're looking for a simple, noise-free
way to do the semantic web, I'm very confident
that Tree Notation will enable it (https://treenotation.org/).

I've played around a bit with turning Schema.org
into a Tree Language, and think that would be a
fruitful exercise, but plenty more on the plate
first.

FWIW I've pitched this concept to W3C for 4 or 5
years to no avail yet. I think though if someone
can put together a decent prototype the idea
might start clicking.

Imagine a noise free way to encode the semantic
web with natural 3-d positional semantics. Could
be cool!
Speaking as someone with 20 years in the industry, what you say is correct. Most applications would be find on a single server and a classic LAMP stack. But that ain't cool these days.
AMD Ryzen 9 5880HS Cezanne Review: Ryzen 5000 Mobile Tested
Actually I was talking about an internal battery that's just sold by the manufacturer, hence the reference to a repair shop. Of course, I don't want to dictate to manufacturers that they have to make everything swappable without tools, but just having access schematics, existing repair guides and spare parts would go a long way.
Tell her about it. She will tell her friends. Streisand effect...
I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'm talking about most. If there's a country/region with commonly eaten vegetables/greens that fall outside the article's listings, I'd be keen to hear about it.
Yeah, quite interesting that. Adyen charges ~1% for Visa and MC in Europe, but 3.95% for Amex. Stripe just charges 1.9% for all European cards, so they are actually significantly cheaper than Adyen to accept Amex.

Let This Harvard Professor Convince You That Aliens Exist
Nope; the writing has been on the wall for fossil fuels for decades, because they KNOW it's a finite resource. The way things are going nowadays though, it's more likely fossil fuels will simply stop being mainstream; for ALL parties involved, it's the more economic option.

I mean granted, there's pretty big profit margins on fuel, but with electric they can get rid of the underground tanks, the trucks, the safety checks, the fire hazard, etc.

So whereas the oil producing countries have invested their incredible amounts of oil money into real estate, companies like Shell are investing in charging points. Because they're good, long-term investments, they don't need much attention, they can be placed anywhere, and every charge session is a bit of profit for whoever owns them.

I mean I'm confident Tesla's long-term strategy isn't so much producing cars - since the established car companies are going to overtake them in that regard, if they haven't already - but infrastructure, supplies, IP and raw materials (charging stations, batteries, technology and lithium / cobalt / intermediate goods, and big projects for power companies like grid-level batteries).
It looked like a lot of the covid induce remote learning was jerry rigging. I wouldn't say it exposed weaknesses as much as it showed a lack of interest prior to covid.

One major problem with with remote learning is it is at odds with existing institutions and their business models.

Another is how easily it could slide into automated learning, which would really upset those business models.

Then again, the stories about the dead professor and microsoft creating virtual versions of people could suggest an interesting future for learning.

I mentioned that in my post, Individual fighters don’t

However, again for any future readers it’s irrelevant how long an individual aircraft is in service from a design perspective. What’s relevant is the what people using that design use it for, and this how long. Bullets for example are single use. However, individual designs can be used for very long periods of time as long as their serial useful, specific aircraft designs for the same criteria where you can see some of them manufactured for 20+ years.

As the other point was dropped I will take this as you conceding the argument. ;-)

Yes I was looking for someone to see it from my view. At least I assume we are on the same page here.

What I see here is Redhat optimizing the release cycle. Please correct me if I'm wrong or my english is bad but it seems to make a lot more sense from a development standpoint to have CentOS Stream than the overhead that was each CentOS release.

And in that process they gain a sort of dev branch of RedHat that people can use to get a distro as close as possible to what RedHat will be, but also beta testers.
This is almost certainly underappreciated. A lot of software has moved away from long term support of point releases. Good luck getting one of the big cloud providers to commit to an unchanging point release of their platforms with backported security and major bug fixes. CentOS Stream is essentially RHEL nightlies that have gone through gating CI tests.
It isn’t a matter of some people being gullible and others aren’t, everyone is gullible in this sense but a lot depends on prior experience, knowledge, peer groups and a lot of other factors. Trolls and conmen play a big part in building a cohesive narrative for fun and profit. People who are looking for a community gravitate to things like this and are easily influenced due to their lack of a counter balancing force in their lives (friends, community, work, faith, etc.). It becomes the thing they live for, part of the story of their life and a framework they use to understand the world. The scary thing is a lot of the world works this way and only varies in quality and pervasiveness. It’s the air we breath so it’s hard to get perspective on. How can you know for sure that something is true if it is beyond your means to verify? You have to appeal to authority or the majority. We do this with practically everything in our lives out of necessity, it’s impossible to vet everything. Most of it is valid and based on widely distributed independent verification. But there are messy areas where either this isn’t possible or where there is strong motivation to argue for a particular view. Politics and religion are pervaded by unverifiable claims and opinions. But it reaches into every aspect of life where there is uncertainty, money or an axe to grind.
BBS networks often had on-line games, that often served as "proto-social networking". Most of them certainly had forums to buy and sell. Many had clients with graphical capabilities.

They didn't exaggerate much there - it was a space with plenty of competition, to the point that for a lot of people the Internet seemed like a boring step down in capabilities for some time, with networks like AOL and Prodigy believing they could stem the tide and keep people walled in.

For my part, before I got internet access, I reinvented a bunch of that stuff myself, and worked on a graphical BBS client and capability for federation. And there's nothing unique in that - I know many others who also did, unaware of what existed, and without thinking we invented anything new, because they were small, incremental obvious steps from what we did know about.

It's simply a natural set of things that people wanted, and the limiting factor was not the ideas, but access to time, talent and capital and a willingness to go ahead and do it.

That's often how these things work. Things get independently reinvented all over the place. Not necessarily well, or fast enough etc.

And you'll note Cameron is not the only one to invent any of the things she does in the series either.

or the even more interesting question is: what if the human consciousness is hyperdimensional (the spiritual theory that the universe itself is conscious and capable of perception) but that through quantum trickery we simply perceive "others" and "me, us, them"?

If entanglement or Einstein's "spooky magic" is possible at the building layers of reality then why do we balk at the idea of this not being possible in other levels of dimension?

Are we like the many "Random Novelty Generators" that is needed for the whole thing to work where each layer of complexity created (in our case our collective human experience consisting of many individual ones) a platform for which additional novelty is generated?

Very interesting ideas to "toy" with. Samsara, karma, reincarnation, Einstein's theory that "God doesn't play dice" all seem strangely possible as our understanding of reality advances. It is weirdly mechanical in its raw form but borderline "pure **ing magic".

(I would also point out how the Western thought rejects all forms of non-objective, impossible-to-prove-therefore-nil ideas in pursuit of its theory that all we see is all we get. We attack all ideas that remotely challenge the religion that has become Science. Seems to be built upon shaky grounds as we seem to slowly approach a convergence of religion, spiritualism, quantum theory especially at a very high elite academic level. Ironically the only people in the scientific community I can have these conversations is also quantum physicists, and some molecular biologists.)

Very nice discussions today I am very satisfied with HN as normally this kind of talk gets the boot and hostile reactions from co-workers.

Alchemy: A fully featured web framework for Swift
As fascinating as this is, I think it's also quite curious that the humans so regularly try to barter with the monkeys. If a monkey ran off with my phone, I doubt I'd have the presence of mind to offer it food, and I'd certainly never consider that it rejected my offer because it wanted different food. My guess would be the locals probably help visitors out by telling them that the monkeys will return their items in exchange for food and how to go about making their offer. I would therefore imagine some kind of co-evolution of the local monkey and human cultures. Indeed, I wonder if much of the complexity of this behavior is actually a result of accidental human design - older individuals would likely be more easily recognized by locals who may ascribe to them certain preferences of food type and quantity, something like "yeah small john over there won't give you back your wallet for less than 5 grapes." Clearly it's still very complex behavior on the monkeys' part but it might be simpler than them independently figuring out economics.
I liked reading books since when I was 12. I would read anything challenging, even if I wouldn't understanding.

I was also reading books of lyrics. I remember reading lyrics of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Sex Pistols songs, way before I actually listen to their music. That gave me an appreciation of the words/meaning.

On the Sex Pistol's song "God Save The Queen" they sang:

"God save the queen
'Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems"

I am not discussing the political aspect on the governing systems (Kingdom vs Anarchy), but the phrase "cause tourists are money" has so much wisdom in it. In modern 'american' language we would say "money talks, BS walks".

Just like NBA shat up and rolled over (oh yes they did) for China, Netflix (and the likes) do for Saudi Arabia.

There was a discussion a couple of days ago regarding users migrating from WhatsApp to Signal/Telegram and how "a few friends" declined, forcing the "many" to either ostracize them, or stick to WhatsApp.

MBS/Saudi Arabia do the same. If you want us, shut up and keep the status quo (murder, rape, inequality, torture). They got trillions of $. Wegot two options. Shut up and roll over (Netflix, NBA), or isolate them and allow them to develop similar/close services. The third option that "slowly they will join us".. well.. how slowly is slowly? 1 year? 5? 100? never? I fear they (SA/MBS) will always be 100 years behind this 'democratic' curve.
TLDR: As always, don't fix a problem until just before you have it.
